Caroline Lovett
Caroline is a contemporary figurative artist. She works mainly in acrylic and oils, as well as producing ink studies. Her figurative work moves between the very contemporary and the surreal. Vibrant, often fluorescent colours, recur in her work. She is fascinated by and creates very physical images of movement and gesture, embodying joy, euphoria, rapture and despair. Her work explores the façade we present to the world versus the realities we repress and conceal, the very public and the very private.
Her process often involves working quickly to create bold under paintings that seep through later paintings to create spontaneous works in acrylic. These initial experimental/exploratory studies then develop into resolved large-scale pieces. She composes paintings very spontaneously, blocking out the backgrounds to allow the forms and bodies to coalesce in more considered brush marks.



Previous work has explored the selfie, the effects of technology and social media on our relationships and private lives.
Her next body of work, provisionally titled ‘The Beer Garden of Earthly Delights’, will examine themes including self-image, self-confidence, freedom, hedonism, partying, female empowerment, fun and post lockdown responses to ‘freedom’.
